After revealing that the final piece of content for The Witness was built yesterday, Thekla President Jonathan Blow confirmed the price today.

On both PlayStation 4 and PC, The Witness will cost $39.99/€36.99/£29.99. While Steam and Humble Store pre-orders go live today, there won’t be PlayStation Store pre-orders, “because apparently developers have to set those up months in advance and we didn’t know that!”

Blow added, “The pre-orders are regular price! They contain an amazing bonus pack-in: the warm fuzzy feeling that you have pre-ordered the game. (And that’s all). So it’s exactly the same as buying the game at launch, except earlier.”

A physical version of The Witness is “seeming likely,” but we won’t know for sure until after the digital launch happens on January 26.

Previously, Blow said The Witness could offer up to 100 hours of gameplay, and “there’s at least one puzzle in the game right now that almost nobody — like 1% of players — will ever be able to figure out.”
